Our Mission

Specializing in Northern Italian cuisine, coupled with old world charm and home grown in West Texas, Venezia Restaurant is the perfect venue for all your special celebrations and events. Venezia, founded in 1988 by Italian born Carmine Scarcelli and named after the beautiful city of Venice, Italy, strives to create the perfect dining experience for every guest.

Wine

Born in Italy, Carmine Scarcelli moved to Midland in 1984 to work for Italian restaurant, Bella Roma. Soon after moving to Texas, Carmine met his wife Karen and by spring of 1988 he was the owner of Venezia Restaurant. Specializing in Northern Italian cuisine and authentic old world charm, Venezia Restaurant is one of Midland's finest dining experiences and a premier event venue for the region. Karen and Carmine lovingly refer to Venezia as their "Italian Home" and they invite you to visit for dinner or your next special occasion.

The location went thru many changes before becoming part of the Scarcelli family and under Carmine's direction continues to evolve. With his brother Mario, Carmine built the wood burning pizza oven, rotisserie and Italian fireplace, in the early days. Over the years Carmine has also crafted over a dozen of the dining room tables along with cedar paneled ceilings and wine cabinets.

Along with great Italian cuisine and a beautiful atmosphere we offer an award winning wine list of more than 500 labels that we can help you pair with any meal.
